Transport Canada and NAV Canada have mandated that aircraft be fitted with Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) capability [1]. This mandate currently applies to aircraft flying in some airspace classes, with plans to expand it to other classes in the future. ADS-B, which relies on ground-based and space-based systems, is used to determine the position, speed and other parameters of an aircraft fitted with an ADS-B Out system [2]. However, there are security concerns and potential vulnerabilities in ADS-B. Attacks pose serious security concerns to the aviation industry for both civilian and military aircraft. Attacks vary from eavesdropping to data modification and jamming [2]–[5]. This paper will first briefly describe ADS-B and survey existing ADS-B vulnerabilities to gain a better understanding of threats against that technology. This paper will also study potential solutions, such as encryption and authentication, that can mitigate vulnerabilities.
